AMD Motherboards

The MSI B850MPOWER is a high-performance microATX motherboard aimed at overclocking enthusiasts, especially those interested in pushing their DDR5 RAM speeds. It features advanced cooling for power delivery, PCIe Gen5 support, and a user-friendly design with handy tools like the EZ Dashboard for easier overclocking. Despite its compact size, it offers strong connectivity with WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and multiple M.2 slots. It’s priced at USD 259.99, offering great value for gamers and RAM overclockers.

The ASRock B850 Challenger WiFi White is a good value-for-money option for budget gamers if they want to step into the latest Ryzen CPUs.

Besides those, the synthetic performance is still a let-down, making it a viable option only for gamers.

The ASRock Phantom Gaming X870 Nova WiFi is a solid mid-range offering, boasting features you'll find on more expensive motherboards. It looks great, performs solid, and has just about everything you could ask for at this price point. Just look out for the bandwidth sharing complications of the M.2 slots.
